Secateurs- Buyer's Guide video


What are the Stihl PG25 like to use?

These are strong secateurs that cut through hard woody prunings with ease – the blade comes with a non-stick coating. The blade is easy to replace and to sharpen, even out in the field and the non-slip, bright orange plastic-covered handles are quick to spot.

Are the Stihl PG25 good value for money?

These are at the higher end of the price scale for anvil secateurs but they are a robust tool that cuts effortlessly and with strength.

Who are the Stihl PG25 most useful for?

Anyone who needs to cut hard woody stems and branches or has less strength in their hands for smaller dead wood pruning jobs.
